Nice custom bumper i found online - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looks like the guy is from Santa Barbara which in my case is pretty good, only about an hour south. This is one of the cleanest more interesting ones i've seen yet. Not sure what they'll run but the page it was on said they avg. $500

even has room for a winch. I'm going to have to get in touch with the guy.

the blazer doesn't look half bad itself

What are you going to do with your stock one? What kind of shape is it in?

*Medicanman71* · 05-09-2006, 09:56 PM

Not a chance!

it's not perfect but i'd for sure keep it. Why, are they that hard to get or are the re-makes crap?

That looks like a good quality bumper, nice welding on it too.

not hard to find. My front was NOS at $200 and my rear was used but in very good shape for around $50.
Just missed an NOS rear a couple of weeks ago...all on Ebay of course.

Looks like a quality bumper... The after market chrome bumpers I have on my blazer are crap...

Really where did you get your bumpers from? I have a rear chrome bumper kit from Manes Truck Parts and couldn't be happier, and a front one from GMC Pauls and it's equally as nice.

I like it, just needs Powdercoating

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-10-2006, 05:45 PM

Got it from the filling station its a tri plus bumper..

that's actually really good looking, i usually dont like that kind of a bumper on a 1st gen.

weld's are a bit to fast, would look better if they did a nice weave, or just a whip

Well you know.

I will say that it is VERY hard to find any decent custom front or rear bumpers that aren't rediculously expensive. I had just resigned myself to buying a welder, bender, chop-saw, torch-set, & a garage to build my own, but I don't have $10,000 to get started.

Maybe I'l just move closer, say Colorado Springs or something like that. then I'll be in a state that has a few trails that aren't illegal or private.

I feel that, i used to be from NJ
